A common argument here is people pointing out how corporations dodge taxes, so we need to raise taxes so they pay their share. This is qualified moronity, unless it's intentional, then it's dishonest. If we're talking about company taxation, let's. It's not the same as the taxation on individuals. You are disgusted by wealthy companies, then raise THEIR taxes. Of course, this will eradicate smaller companies, but you are the ones who will have to deal with taking intellectual responsibility for your suggested policies.
However, it is also something that should be discussed here, whether the laws concerning corporations, specifically their rights to secrecy, are reasonable. Changing that would hurt them far worse than changing their taxes. Just a thought.
I believe the entire concept of corporate personhood to be deleterious to the public good. I understand that there needs to be some mechanism to limit investor's exposure to risk, but the idea that a corporation deserves, say, first amendment rights is profoundly stupid.
This thread seems to have a lot of these things:
Strawmen
Wilful misunderstanding
False Dichotomy
Fallacious over-simplification of complex theories.
Which is quite depressing: the caricature of Communism on page 1 is a ripper but it went downhill well before that.

This review is not helpful without examples :)

The entire concept of an LLC is summed up in the first two words
Limited Liability.
Corporate personhood is idiotic when you consider the entire purpose of creating a corporation is to limit personal liability.
How can you give an organization designed to avoid liability all of the rights afford in exchange for those liabilities?
Ciretose! We agree!
